Jason Voorhees DLC Coming to Mortal Kombat X on May 5

Although no gameplay footage of Jason Voorhees was shown off today during NetherRealm's Kombat Kast show, the team did announce that he will be available as a playable Mortal Kombat X DLC character starting Tuesday, May 5.

He will first be made available to those who purchased the $30 Kombat Pack DLC collection. After one week, he will be separately available for all to purchase, regardless of Kombat Pack ownership. NetherRealm's Ed Boon has also confirmed you'll be able to take DLC characters for a spin before buying them.

The Mortal Kombat X Kombat Pack contains four DLC packs, each of which will be released throughout the year. Included in these DLC packs are playable characters Jason, Tanya, Tremor, and The Predator, as well as a handful of themed character skins. Jason Voorhees' pack also contains several horror-themed costumes for Mileena, Reptile, and Ermac.
